Engine won't start

N/A-SR20VE NUT! · 04-20-2011, 03:51 AM

I have a U13 bluebird with an SR20 that won't start.

It is sparking, and getting fuel through the injectors, it has good compression.
The engine fires for like a second when first cranked, then it dies.

Giving it throttle makes it even worse.
It seems like it may not be getting enough fuel?
The fuel pump has been replaced and is working fine.
Does anybody have any solutions?

Cheers,
Chris

Its must be your ignition system.You said you replaced the fuel pump right & it cranks right but wont start.From my point of view,you might have a bad starter or dead battery.Check for those options.

i had the same problem. pull the relay for the fuel pump and try to start it again. if it starts then it is probably a bad o ring on an injector or fuel pressure regulator, causing it to flood. good luck!
